India times shopping is making money by cheating public. Being their own news paper, they advertise attractive products and dump poor quality products to customer. You will never get their customer care numbers as no one comes on the line even after holding the call for 15 to 20 minutes. Once I got a rep. on the line after holding the call for 25 minutes and spoke with him and subsequently many people on the same call which lasted 68 minutes but no use except getting assurance.

I have written many mails to [protected]@indiatimes.com for no use. In the website they are mentioning you can escalate to operation head which is also an eye wash as operation head also never takes any action except sending one mail saying he will look in to the matter and will get back to you in a day and that day has not come yet.

it is an organised racket.


I will be writing shortly the complete story how Indiatimes shopping cheated me.

Indiatimes — Travel voucher

Cheated
I was offered a LIFETIME card by EMPLOYEEs of Indiatimes, as told by the persons on the telephone. This offered LIFETIME discounts at certain places, as well as some vouchers for discounted travel by Make My Trip, in assosciation with shiftthoughts.com .

On enquiring about the cancellation procedure, without using any of the benefits, I was not clarified as to how I can do it. But with IndiaTimes and Make My Trip being involved, I thought there would be no SCAM. But I was wrong.

On complaining at their phone no. I was attended to by a lady named NEHA. she said she would get back to me within 1 hour, and resolve my problem. This has not happened in the past 4 days also.

Now I want to terminate this card/deal/vouchers and receive a full refund immediately.

I know these companies like Indiatimes.com or MakeMyTrip.com or associated companies, which are all part of this BIG SCAM going around, will probably not even listen to me. But I hope to just BEWARE the others to not fall for SCAMS by these or other companies or sites.
